Folks,

Catching up on some more backlog. The sand wasp woke up in the morn and then did some stretching and then..what seemed to me me like checking the sharpness of its weapons...close to a full frame

7D 70 200 with extn..

Thanks NPN for your support.

I like the superb detail, Balan. Very "sharp" to go with the subject. Nice color against the neutral be as well.

Very cool & unusual wasp Balan, especially like the extra long 'waist'.
Artfully composed, nice details & colors against this soft neutral BG :toast:

Impressive the way the legs of the animal resonate with its perch. Nice colors too.

This is very nice Balan. Amazing sharpness and a subtle, complimentary and clean background. Very well done!
